El Conquistador No. 1

★★★★
Some say their cook is Speedy Gonzales himself.
El Con's food is nothing special, really--just your average Tex-Mex fare you'd find in any town in Texas. It's not overly bland or overly greasy, thus avoiding the two deadly sins of Tex-Mex, but I'd be lying if I said it was a stand out in any way.

Where they set themselves apart from everywhere else in town, though, is with the speed at which they operate. My glass is never empty here, nor do I ever seem to run out of chips and salsa. Dinner arrives at my table at ludicrous speed, as if the waiter goes to plaid on the way.

The dining room is clean and a noticeable improvement from the dark place lit by yellow 70stacular fixtures that they used had when I was a kid.

If you're short on time, this is the place. It's funny how something as simple as keeping my glass full can make a place stand out, but it does.
